Go Primary or Go Home

January 31st. Last day of Black Out Style. I issued a colour challenge earlier in the week and put together my most colourful outfit yesterday because I had stuff going on and felt it might be cheating to put a super colourful outfit together for Friday that nobody would see. Yesterday, I wore it out and about and waited to see if I would get sideways glances (is she a package of crayons?). The good news is no one put on sunglasses upon seeing me. The better news is I felt great and full of colourful joy on a cold January day! AND I finally got to wear my thrifted vintage blazer!

You don’t even notice the snow in the presence of such bright primary colours!

My outfit wasn’t premeditated! In fact, I followed my own steps and was running late as usual so I just grabbed the three truest primary colours in my closet and added the scarf because Anthropologie makes everything okay.

Did I miss you?! Because tomorrow I will be putting all the names and bonus entries into the hat and drawing for the winner of the White Fox Pendant necklace!!!! For everyone who set black aside and jumped into this challenge, THANK YOU! It has been a blast to see all the tweets and Intagram pics and has infused much needed warmth, colour and fun into bleak January winter!

How did YOU find the Black Out Style challenge? For me, it started off hard but got easier and easier and I now think I could keep going! But I won’t because tomorrow is BLACK SATURDAY and I have a new challenge in mind for February! Stay tuned!

Black Out Style may be over, but I’m not done with all these colourful pieces!

Ugh, I just typed a whole comment and then it disappeared when I hit publish! I’ll try again…

I almost wish I had done the full month – the one week I did was super easy. I think it helps that I have a lot of non-black neutral options, so I didn’t feel too bright/colorful! But some of my favorite things are black, so I would feel bad to neglect them for a whole month. I guess that’s the pros and cons of style challenges!

yep! Absence makes the heart grow fonder! With a thrifted wardrobe, you can do things like ignore them for a month, buy 76 new things and wear them all! Who knows, maybe this will become an annual thing!

I too found it a challenge when the month started…I realized that while with the exception of one pair of black leggings all my bottoms are colours and neutrals most of my tops were black! When did that happen! I hit VV and avoided looking at black! I found several options…woohoo! Interestingly enough, my warmer clothes are mostly colour!
